AVB hits back at Harry ‘dope’ jibe

Andre Villas-Boas insists Harry Redknapp is in no place to judge whether only a “dope” can manage Chelsea.

Tomorrow sees Villas-Boas go head to head with QPR boss Redknapp for the first time since the 35-year-old replaced the former Southampton manager in the White Hart Lane hot seat last summer.

Redknapp, who was sacked in June despite leading Spurs to fourth, fifth, and fourth during his three full seasons in charge, appeared to aim a jibe at Villas-Boas earlier this season when he claimed that big dossiers — a staple of the Portuguese’s management style — can “baffle” players.
